This full day programme held at the Sri Pandan Auditorium, Hospital Sultan Ismail, was well attended by doctors, nurses and other health professionals from Johor. The feedback at the end of the session was positive. The meeting was well organised thanks to Dr Mohd Roslan Haron and his team. This was the first meeting organised by the Oncology Centre and Dr Mohd Roslan hoped this would be the introduction of this centre as the Reference Centre for the southern region. The meeting served to encourage more cooperation and closer understanding amongst practitioners in the Johor state in terms of the different roles played in combating breast cancer. |
